i do agree with you… my own opinion is that rachel thought she could do more to help luci if she was on good terms with the duke, like the better her relationship is with the duke the more he’ll be willing to be swayed by her, and, less manipulatively, she has never been truly loved by her parents before so i’m sure she, somewhat selfishly, desired to have a good relationship with her adoptive parents in this life and would avoid being thrown away by them again as she’s already lived through that traumatic experience… but yes i was disappointed with her lack of power when it came to helping luci early on, especially when she had been sent away and wasn’t getting letters from him. like girl!!! ask the duchess about him!!! go back yourself to see him!!! like?!??! that was crazy to me. but c’est la vie. her insecurity was reborn with her too :(
i just started reading this story (currently on ch. 30), and i wanted to ask if anyone else is bothered by MC being so comfortable with the duke, despite knowing the fact that ML is being abused by him? they kept mentioning/showing the abuse at the beginning of the story, and it seemed like it was gonna be a big plot point, but it hasn’t been dealt with or brought up by MC and the author in a while (besides a few instances). she’s a victim of abuse, but isn’t doing much to help ML (also doesn’t seem to hate/be uncomfortable with the duke despite also being a victim?) and it seems like the author just forgot the fact that he is being abused. understandably abuse victims (MC) might be more sensitive and uncomfortable dealing with those situations since they have gone through the same thing. my concern is more towards the author and why they would set the situation up like that when nothing is gonna be done about it.
idk if that makes sense. LOL sorry for the long rant, just wanted to get that out there. (maybe this’ll change later on in the story, correct me if i’m wrong )
